Built .'by Paceco, a division of Fruehau-f Corporation, Alameda, Calif., the cranes have a 30-long- ton capacity and are Sea-Land's second Paceco cranes in each of the ports. The new crane for the Port of New Orleans was erected in rec- ord time, just six weeks after start of erection, at Sea-Land's France Road Terminal. Normally, erection of these huge cranes requires two to three months. The new crane for the Port of Jacksonville joins the first Portain- er, which was installed in this Sea- Land container terminal in 1966. It was one of the first Portainers to be bought 'by Sea-Land.

Maclean, head, department of engineering, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, Kings Point, N.Y.; Robert P. Fulton, secretary-treasurer of the New York Metropolitan Section; Robert G. Mende, national secretary of SNAME; John P. Casey, author; Donald B. Car- penter, chairman of the Section, and Thomas J. Sartor Jr., vice chairman. The first meeting for the 1973- 74 season of the New York Metro- politan Section of The Society of Naval Architects and Marine En- gineers was held on September 6 at the U.S. Coast Guard Officers' Clulb, Governors Island, N.Y. This meeting honored the past chairmen of the Section and was officially designated as "Past Chairman's Night." At the technical session, which was preceded by a sooial hour and dinner, a paper was presented en- titled "Steam Propulsion Economi- cally Viable for Powers as Low as 12,000 S'hp," by John P. Casey, en- gineer, Marine Propulsion Systems Planning, Marine Turbine and Gear Products Department, Gen- eral Electric Company, Lynn, Mass. In the introduction to this paper, the author states that increasingly higher propulsion power has been required to meet the needs of the worldwide shipbuilding industry during the past decade and steam has consistently met those needs by having plants and equipment designed and available on a sched- ule consistent with industry re- quirements. During this period, the powering of ships below 15,000 shaft horsepower has been taken over exclusively by the diesel en- gine, more recently by the medium speed-geared variety. The author presents a concept of a 12,000-shp steam propulsion plant based on modern concepts for consideration as a viable alter- native to the diesel plant. The paper includes an economic evalua- tion of functionally equivalent steam and diesel plants to demon- strate the claimed viability of the proposed steam plant.
